[QUOTE="iMarco, post: 656720, member: 56101"] I recently switched over to Mac so I'm not very "Mac Savvy" myself. I do own a small Production company where we pretty much started with Mac Pro's and I have no complaint since day one. I can't believe I wasted so much time on Windows, I'm that satisfied. Regarding your question or questions...the most important elements in Video Editing would be RAM and Processor speed. The more RAM, the better realtime performance you're going to get. I'm running on a Macbook Pro 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2gb RAM and GeForce 8600M GT (256mb). I edit HD Footage as high as 720p to 1080i using my HXV200 HD camera...I have no lag during editing. Not even with a lot of effects applied on the timeline, I get no lag. Notice I could get more RAM (which I am), but I'm doing fine for now. Games? I play WoW with no lag what so ever, so you can pretty much focus on RAM and Processor speed. Games, obviously ignore any Intel based video cards. Get something with a GeForce PCI Express. You could get 4gbs RAM and lots of processor speed, but if you got some Intel Video chip, your games won't run as good. Hope that helps and good luck. [/QUOTE]
